i want to see if i can organize a secret santa thing for our forum users. it will all be organized by me. all you have to do is say you want to join in. the final join in date is 12/20/06 i will send you a pm that says who your person is. please add an idea for a gift for you when you join in.


obviously im going to join in too, i think a deep and true (or hilariously funny) quote for my sig will work

Ooooh, I want in ^_^

A gift idea? A really nice set would be awesome (I lack the skills and programs XD)...^_^ It's a cool way to join the users...good luck!

I'd be intressted :)

An idea would maybe be making a sig

Oh, how awesome. I'm in too. Last time a did Secret Santa was when I was 10 years old. I want to relive my old memories.
Now I'm going to bet that someone is going to invade this thread and complain how immoral it is.

Gift? A sig to match my avatar would be nice. I will provide an image later.
I'm an awful gift-maker though. All I have to my usage is a crappy computer, even crappier scanner, MS Paint and a digital camera. I'm more in the prose category of gift-giving.

Um...

How the hell would you go about doing a Secret Santa on an online forum?

Luis
December 4th, 2006, 09:27 pm
as far as I can tell, ME411 would take the names of all of the participants and then use some sort of random method to assign each person a name, then you would make a sig or whatever for the person you got.

Oh, I've done this twice before on another forum, it's great~
I'd really like any sets of Christmas ('Tales of' series would be greatly appreciated XD) and/or a wallpaper.

So when's the date for all of this going to be due?

ain't secret santa meant to be secret? wouldn't that mean you don't really have a choice of what you receive?

I'm not in. I can't make sigs.=(

Luis
December 5th, 2006, 04:12 pm
cant make sigs?
Write something....?!Share a pic you've taken?!....bother them constantly over IM!!

count me in, too.
actually, i'm not good at all at making sigs, but i'll try to :heh:

Toshihiko
December 5th, 2006, 08:34 pm
as far as secret goes we can just have it all filter through one person. after we get who we are giving to we just give all the gifts with recipients names to someone so it's still secret.
It doesn't have to be a sig, that's just a suggestion like siul said just make them feel special. it can anything that you wouldn't normally do.

ME411
December 6th, 2006, 12:57 am
you are going to be pm'ed the name of the person you have to make a gift for. remember, final join in date is 12/20/06!
@toshihiko: every thing is directly pm'ed(by you) to your person. try not to mail it out to early.

aries_fire
December 6th, 2006, 01:06 am
Ok, I give. Count me in please!
What would be nice would be a nice set. I know that's what everyone's asking for, but I can never find any good pictures. Pretty much any anime will do.

Yeah, that'd be a good idea.

I've already started my present. :bleh:

i just finished messaging all the people that have joined so far their partners

Milchh
December 9th, 2006, 03:11 am
I think I'm giving mine early--I spent a good time photomaniping it anyway. Don't want it to waste.

aries_fire
December 9th, 2006, 03:29 am
And to waste it did not go. :)

PorscheGTIII
December 9th, 2006, 03:37 am
We don't let the person we have to give our gift to know it was us right? So we have to give it to someone else to give to them right?

Luis
December 9th, 2006, 03:28 pm
I think we should PM the gift to ME411 and then she could do the following:
(pretend I got Porsche as my person)

PorscheGTIII:

gift in here

also...whens this due?

ME411
December 9th, 2006, 07:04 pm
you can send it directly to your partner whenever you want so they can thank you. you can finish your gift when you finish it then you pm it to your partner DIRECTLY!


EDIT: youre supposed to know who they are AFTER they give you the present

methodx
December 9th, 2006, 09:38 pm
Oh skgjhaskgj. You've handed me a person. Now I have to make a present, and I'm no good at making sets (since everyone wants a set, don't get ideas).
Is it too late to draw out?
'Coz I don't want to give them something really. Crappy. :(

Luis
December 9th, 2006, 11:31 pm
no dropping out, the post/pm was a legally binding contract that forces you into participating.

Just speak your mind, a good conversation is worth a lot more than most think.

But quite frankly I don't care what you give me, 'coz I know I sure as hell won't reach the expectations of my recipient.
As long it's made with love. :)

If anyone is working on Method's the art work is pretty similar to the ones used by asian kung fu generation for their album work. so that should help.

methodx
December 11th, 2006, 10:01 pm
It is Asian Kung-Fu Generation. :mellow:
And how is that supposed to help? I provided an image. And I know who's doing mine already.
Because they sent me my present already. Tho' they said they'd do another one before Christmas.

Toshihiko
December 11th, 2006, 10:27 pm
Ah... well it's good to know the artist or style and since I'm so out of it I have no idea what album that was from XD
Now while going back to class to work on the one for my secret recevier.

December 18th, 2006, 10:54 pm
so does each person get a random person to make a sig for?

Lightningsage
December 18th, 2006, 10:57 pm
It doesn't neccisarly have to be a sig. ME411 probably puts half the names in a hat and draws out matches for the rest. Just a guess.

ME411
December 19th, 2006, 12:43 am
are you a stalker? cause thats exactly what i do!!!!!!!

Lightningsage
December 19th, 2006, 01:28 am
OMGWTFROTFL!? No wonder...my luck at that "guess the number" game is in fact true, lol. It was just a guess. Usally when people want to pair people up (especially for science groups in school), our teacher usally takes a hat or something, puts half the names in, and uses a random system to put who with another person.
